Beyoncé celebrates her 31st birthday in style, new music from Carly Rae Jepen, and more watercooler tidbits.

1.) The Wanted said that if they win the 2012 MTV VMA for "Best New Artist," they'll get naked onstage in celebration. BRB, have to rig a VMA ballot box gotta set my DVR in case this goes down. (MTV News)

2.) What did Beyoncé do on her 31st birthday? Oh nothing, just hung out on a gigantic yacht in the Mediterranean with her super adorbz family. (What, you expected her to hit up Applebee's for a free birthday dessert?) (Us Weekly)

3.) We may have to wait until Sept. 18 for Carly Rae Jepsen's debut album, Kiss, to drop, but you can listen to some new song teasers while you wait! (Pop On And On)

Check out the rest of this week's 10 Things To Know Now after the jump!

5.) Lana Del Rey admitted that "screenwriting is her happy place" in a recent Australian Vogue interview, and says she's currently writing one.

6.) New songs by Solange Knowles are on the way! She's even filming a new video, for "Losing You," in South Africa, and promises the new song will debut in October. (VIBE)

7.) Have you ever wanted to be in a Linkin Park music video? WELL, OBVIOUSLY. The band is inviting one lucky fan to appear in their upcoming video for "Lost In The Echo." (Mashable)

8.) We've remained calm in anticipation for No Doubt's new album, Push And Shove, dropping (Sept. 25!), but now we can't "Settle Down" after previewing these clips of the entire album! (That Grape Juice)
